I'M TOO BUSY

I'M TOO BUSY

Everyday as i wake up at dawnMy mind start working the moment i yawnThere were many things to do, o dear!That's why i hastily did my Subuh prayerI didn't have the time to sit longer topraise the LordTo me rushing out after prayer is nothing odd...

Since school, i had been busy every minuteCompleting my tutorials and handing it inMy ECAs took up most of my time alwaysNo time did i have to Allah to prayToo many things to do and zikir is rareFor Allah, I really had no time to spare..

When i grew up and started my careerWorking all day to secure my futureWhen I reached home, I prefered to have funI chatted on the phone but i didn't read the QuranI spent too much time surfing the InternetSad to say, my faith was falling flat...

The only time i have left is weekendsDuring which i prefer window shopping with friendsI couldn't spare time to go to the mosqueI'm too busy, that's the BIG EXCUSE...

I did my five prayers but did so quicklyAfter prayer, I didn't sit longer to reflect quietlyI didn't have time to help the needy onesI was loaded with work as my precious time runs

No time at all to visit a sick Muslim friendTo orphans and elderly, I hardly lent a handI'm too busy to do community serviceWhen there were gatherings, I helped the least

My life was already full of stressSo i didn't counsel a Muslim in distressI didn't spend much time with my familyB'coz i thought, doing so is a waste of time...

No time to share with non-Muslim about IslamEven though I know, inviting causes no harmNo time to do Sunnah prayers at allAll these contribute to my imaan's fall..

I'm busy here and busy thereI've no time at all, that's all i careI went for religious lessons, just once in awhileCoz i'm too busy making a pile...

I worked all day and i slept all nightToo tired for Tahajjud and it seemed not rightTo me, earning a living was already toughso i only did basic deeds but that's not enough..

No time at all, to admire God's creationNo time to praise All_h and seek His CompassionAlthough I know how short is my lifeFor Islam, I really didn't strive..

Finally the day comes, when the Lord calls for meAnd I stood before Him with my Life's History

I feel so guilty b'coz i should have prayed moreIsn't that what a Muslim lives for?To thank Allah and do more good deedsAnd the Quran is for us all to read..

Now at Judgement Day, I'm starting to fretI've wasted my life but it's too late to regretMy entry to Paradise depend on my good behaviourBut i've not done enough nor did proper prayer

My "good deed book" is given from my rightAn angel opened my "book" and read out my plight.Then the angel chided me....

"O You Muslim servant, you are the one,Who is given enough time, yet not much is doneDo you know that your faith is loose?saying "no time" is only an excuse.Your "good deed book" should be filled up morewith all the good work you stood up for..

Hence, I only recorded those little good deedsAs I say this, I know your eyes will mist..I was about to write some more, you seeBut i did not have, THE TIME to list".......
